A year and a half ago, on May 13, 2022, I wrote a long blog post about our adventures trying to start an east coast coffin shop. The impetus for the post was a building that had gone up for sale across the street from our parish and Marian Caskets’ attempt to purchase it. Amidst the post I included this picture:
Shop across the street, awaiting transformation
Marian Caskets was not able to make the purchase, but I would like to thank everyone who helped us, with their prayers and financial contributions, to try. And, over the course of this month in which we remember the faithful departed I will share with you how things have lined up in more wondrous ways than we could ever have plotted ourselves.
